The Leader has died!

 The Leader Has died!

Pluto in Aquarius

Consider Pluto transit over the Leo Aquarius Axis and you would have understood everything about what is going on in the world at the moment.

I always say that we should always look at the axis in Astrology to better understand the polarities of the same energy. Whereas Aries Libra axis represents the Self in interpersonal one-on-one relationships. Leo Aquarius axis theme is about the Self in society.

Remember Nietzsche’s sentence “God is dead”? Of course, his philosophical idea is deeper, but I think that was the premise on which society built the worship of the ‘leader’. Like infants, people were looking for a father figure to replace God’s protection. Yet, the story started probably millennia before with the patriarchal paradigm.

Leo functions in society as the leader, the head, the king -or tyrant-, the president or prime minister that has the power – delegated or self-acquired- to control the rest of society. Pluto in Leo was OOB half of each year during the 1937 to 1958 period, so it was a rogue Leo Pluto. 

Now, Pluto in Aquarius (as opposition to Leo, as if it were ‘full moon’) projects the excesses or extremes, corruption, decay, degeneration, decomposition and death of the Leo archetype as well as uncover the social corruption that have enthroned the Plutos in Leo. 

Pluto in Aquarius shows on its mirror the naked truth of the Leo-gone-rogue effects on society (Aquarius). If you want an inventory, let’s get started by some high rank authorities who represent the Leo-gone-rogue. Even though some of them do not have natal Pluto in Leo, they perfectly incarnate the archetype. Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, Viktor Mihály Orbán, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Nicolás Maduro, Vladimir Putin, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, Nicolas Maduro, Miguel Diaz-Canel, B. Netanyahu, Javier Milei, are among the most well-known. I spare you the rest, but as you can see, they are from all the colors of the rainbow, no matter if right or left wing, they have just one thing in common: they rule from moral decay. Some of them secretly suffer from mental health disorders associated with the corrupted Leo archetype by Pluto. Some hold the psychopathic belief (King Louis XIV, Sun King syndrome) that ‘I am the king ordained by God’.

What is the work of Pluto in Aquarius over society? It shows the people, the plebeian down here in the sign of the masses, the reality. We, the commoners are in front of a mirror (Leo) that shows us how we have projected our authority on those leaders and ‘delegated’ them the role of ‘a father’. This comes from the time of Pluto in Leo (1937/1938 to 1956/1958) when humanity was in great perils: first the Great Depression then the second World War with its atrocities, and by the end of the period the Cold War, or the atomic threat of annihilation of humanity. Like toddlers, people needed daddy, to take care of things and protect them.

However, little by little, the Leonean ‘parents’ took more and more responsibilities, and took ‘liberties’ at the same time. After testing the people, they discover that they could manipulate us with that same fear that originated the power transfer. And using the Neptune Pluto sextile for about 80 years, skillfully manipulated (Pluto) our perception of reality (Neptune) using fear. People in fear of ‘extinction’ kept trusting in that virtual ‘delegation’ of power. At least in the so called ‘democracies’, people have been convinced that they chose or elected their authorities, trusting that they would represent their will, and would perform as expected. 

This is the culmination of the patriarchal establishment, better yet the point where the system reached the point of decay and decomposition. This stage has probably started with the multiple conjunction in Capricorn on January 2020 at the World Point of 22º 45' and in conjunction with the South Node of Saturn and Pluto. The planetary South Nodes act as an energy drain for those planets representing social power structures.  

Currently, we woke up to a cruel and obscene reality: we have been governed by immoral, even amoral individuals, like pedophiles, terrorists and narco-terrorists, human traffickers, or in other word, just criminals that abused the power with which people innocently or stupidly endowed them. The royal class, of course, simply did not bother to ask their subjects about ‘delegation’ of power, nor did they ask for their opinions about their governance.

In the same way Pluto in Leo initiated a period of authority empowerment over the commoners, now, Pluto in Aquarius brings back the power to society, to the commoners. What are people going to do with their power? This is an idea that is still in its infancy. People are not used to use their power, they are still in the ‘daddy dependency’ mindset, still thinking that another president will do it well, the government will solve the problem, etc. Additionally, the process of decomposition will last a few more years, possibly until 2035. 

Pluto in Aquarius is OOB about half of the year until 2035, which means, there is an opportunity for people to taste the recovery of their power. And taste it they will. This is analog to the time between 1777 and 1797, last time Pluto was OOB in Aquarius. You probably remember your high school History class teacher telling you how royal ‘heads’ went rolling on the streets of Paris. Similarly, now ‘heads’ are falling everywhere, often eliminated by other heads in power struggles among themselves.

There are other ways people can take back their power, without violence, and more effectively. This is something one should have learned with Pluto in Capricorn: to take responsibility for being one’s own parent, developing the necessary discipline, establishing one’s own rules, behaving as adults, with maturity, becoming masters of managing the physical resources, knowing when to restrain ourselves instead of overindulge, knowing how to successfully face adversity, suffer scarcity, knowing how to persevere and sacrifice something good for something better. In other words, in order to gain freedom and independence, Aquarius traditional ruler (Saturn) requires us to have already learned how to be one’s own authority figure, or, how to become an adult, so to be one’s own leader (father?) during the 14 years of Pluto in Capricorn. 

Pluto in Aquarius demands individuals to have the necessary autonomy to be able to contribute to the networks of society. This process will be crucial for the survival of humanity, because we will need to gather together ideas, talents, abilities, resources, innovation, and everything necessary to develop creative connections in order to build new systems that in turn give birth to a new organization of society. AI tells us that 'knowledge is here', but how are we going to use it? The Uranus in Gemini trine to Pluto in Aquarius is resourceful, highly supportive for the required level of creativity that is needed. It brings new ideas. Saturn Neptune sextile to them asks to take responsibility for the conceptualization (Neptune imaginary) of our individuation (Aries). There is certainly a new human being in the making. One who is able to create productive connections (Gemini) to build a new kind of society (Aquarius).

I am not naïve. Pluto is out of bounds for 10 years until 2035 (half a year every time) and this may manifest in violent social upheavals. Indignation and anger have already built to an intolerable level, and in many places, people are even willing to risk their lives to fight against the oppression and injustice caused by the corruption of leadership. However, this is the last time Pluto is OOB for millennia. So, I encourage people to use intelligence instead of physical violence to fight. Think smart, talk smart, and especially act smart. Be careful of the bandwagon you jump on, do not let yourself be manipulated. Remember that soon Neptune will repeat the sextile to Pluto a few more times. You can count on propaganda trying to convince you of things, to mislead you. Critical thinking is more necessary than ever. Keep in mind that during the French revolutionary times, successive ‘ideological’ parties also ended up under the guillotine as the nobility did.

In these transitional times of turmoil and chaos, we need to keep in mind the goal: the new kind of society people want to create. The current Mars Saturn in Aries supports the use of individual (Aries) strategy. How can one use the Aries fiery impulses to initiate the New Way of Being and Living? Or is there an Apocalypse that will force us to reboot? I leave you with this question for your reflection.

The Nodal Axis in Aquarius Leo - July 26, 2026 to March 26, 2028 - Great Depression II?

 

The Nodes move to the Aquarius Leo axis on July 26, 2026 until March 26, 2028. During that period there are five eclipses within those Signs, and still one more in each Virgo and Pisces. However, this Nodal axis will also host one eclipse in Capricorn and one in Cancer. 

Let's explore the energies. 

North Node in Aquarius

The new orientation will direct the collective and individual lives to the community and humanitarian concerns. People will now focus on participating in networks of like minds or like activism in order to work on common goals and innovative ways of achieving them. The keyword for this North Node is cooperation, instead of the competition that inspires Leo. 

During this period, individual interests and self centered aspirations are left behind for the benefit of the collective. North Node in Aquarius always finds a good cause to pursue to make society a better place to live for everybody. For this reason, this is the intelligent North Node Sign of new ideas, which usually breaks obsolete structures, thinking ahead to bring up ingenious and often unprecedented solutions to old problems. However, it's done with great humility, never asking or expecting to receive rewards, not even individual recognition to become a leader, center stage performer, or be in the spotlight.

The North Node returns to the same Sign every 18.6 years. Here are the historical events related to the North Node in Aquarius:

2008-2009 Subprime Crisis - Recession, banks & corporations bailout by taxpayers

1987-1989 Black Monday global stock market crash on October 19, 1987

1969-1970 Recession, inflation, unemployment, Nixon

1950-1952 Korean War inflation period

1931-1933 Great Depression

According to the Theory of Economic Cycles of Louise McWhirter, the economy falls to its lowest level when the North Node transits Aquarius. This is what this astrologer has confirmed in the historical research above. That makes even more sense if we consider that Saturn (traditional ruler of Aquarius) is transiting the Sign of his 'fall' in Aries. This astrologer predicts that the economic downturn will continue and possibly deepen once Saturn travels through Taurus and forms a square with Pluto. At that time, world conflicts and great turmoil associated with such square may cause food shortages and problems with distribution of resources and energy. Please read my previous article on Saturn Pluto square to understand what is coming down the road.  

During the period when the Nodal Axis is in Aquarius Leo, there will be nine eclipses, but not all of them happen in those Signs. Only the following ones will be in Aquarius. It is important to take note of their dates to keep record of the events associated with them. You could also check if any of them falls within 3º orb of your natal or progressed planets or main angles, which would mean that you would be affected by their energy.

Annular Solar Eclipse February 6, 2027 @ 17º ♒️ 39’

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse August 17, 2027 @ 24º ♒️ 04’

Annular Solar Eclipse January 26, 2028 @ 6º ♒️ 08’

South Node in Leo

Ketu or the Lunar South Node acts as a drain of celebrity Leo energy. There will be an unavoidable disintegration of the personality cult and glory 'holders' and seekers will fall from grace. The invigoration of the social sense of community will overshadow ego-centered leadership. Individuals looking for power and prominence just to satisfy their own interest will be done with, because people are not willing to seek them nor sustain them. This is due to the fact that the common folk has completely lost confidence in that kind of leadership. OOB Pluto contributes to the empowerment of the lower classes that now oppose the corrupt leadership elites. To better understand the works of Pluto in Aquarius, I refer you to my previous blog about Pluto in Aquarius.

Those who constantly look for and need personal recognition are now left behind; there are no more sycophants available to sustain their vanity. Drama and self serving performance will be despised. People are now discovering that they need to unite and collaborate together if they are going to come out of the pit where the Plutos in Leo have submerged them. In fact, coinciding with the Leo South Node transit, many of these are now octogenarians and leaving this world as well. 

To interpret the North Node in Aquarius, follow the transit of Saturn in Aries, and Uranus in Gemini. Aspects to Pluto are important as well during this period, especially when an eclipse joins Pluto (Jan. 26, 2028). Uranus, modern ruler of Aquarius makes perfect trine with Pluto in Aquarius over the summer of 2026, possibly related to popular rebellion against totalitarian governments, or the imposition of social controls (i.e. social media regulations, etc). Other developments relate to the Small Triangle they form that includes Neptune. To better understand this extremely rare configuration, I refer you to my blogs on the Small Triangle for the historical perspective and Pluto Trine Uranus with Neptune at Midpoint for the predictions.

Here are the two eclipses with the South Node in Leo during this period. 

Total Solar Eclipse August 12, 2026 @ 20º ♌️ 06’

Total Solar Eclipse August 2d, 2027 @ 9º ♌️ 55’

Saturn Pluto Cycle - Waxing Sextile and the Reactivation of 2020

 

In order to understand the current times, one needs to keep in mind the astrological background defined by the bigger outer planets cycles. 

In this article, I will discuss the Saturn Pluto cycle that started January 12, 2020. I don't need to remind you the events associated with it. I am certain that you will always remember them. I will only remind you the astrology of it. This is the chart. 

The only detail that is missing is that the conjunction happened right on top of the Planetary South Nodes of both Pluto and Saturn. This small details marks the karmic nature of these two planets that directly relates to all the power struggles and human urge for domination of the long gone past. 

About Pluto

In her book Persephone's Revolution, Rosie Finn goes back in recorded History till almost two thousand years BCE. She calculated that Pluto was then in extreme declination alternatively North or South at 36º, every ~248 years. It was the time of the patriarchal consolidation in society, when the known world was involved in cruel wars for conquest and dominion over lands and peoples. Hammurabi created the legal code based on "an eye for an eye" (in a literal sense). 

It was probably the highest point in the curve of OOB Pluto that takes thousands and thousands of years. From then until the present day, Pluto has progressively gotten fewer degrees OOB every time, until our present time when he barely peaks at 23º South 48' (October 2030). 

Why do I mention this? Because this is the last time! for about ten thousands years. That's it, after this one ends in 2035, we will never again have excessive cruel empowerment associated with an extreme Pluto, not from authorities nor from the common people. 

And you may be thinking, 'how about the power grab, and the authoritarian regimes that has been sprouting everywhere with the Saturn Pluto conjunction of 2020?' Astrology says that it is smoke in mirrors. It is there so people wake up. Now, people are able to see how they have been manipulated into believing a certain reality so they kept low (+80 years of Neptune sextile Pluto).  Illusions like freedom of speech, democracy, elections, having a government representative of people's interests, and so many more!  (This due to the other major planetary cycle of Neptune Pluto that we will discuss in a future). But now, people are ready to reclaim their hard earned rights and original power.

Saturn in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius - March 28, 2026

Now the power grabbers are innovators in technological advancement and scientific discoveries that don't take into consideration the consequences over life on Earth. This thanks to the Aquarius archetype, an aloof sign that lives in the mind, and creates through intellectual activity, detached from emotions, and for whom life sustaining resources (Taurus) present a hindrance (Aquarius square Taurus). They know that the newest inventions may represent a fatal threat to humanity, but they can't stop themselves, such is the need of Aquarius for ego recognition (opposition to Leo).

Saturn in Aries -with Neptune- represents the pioneering of illusory structures, the construction of those initiatives obsessively proposed by Pluto in Aquarius. 

Keep in mind that all of this takes place in the context of their conjunction in Capricorn. This may mean that the governmental institutions are in bed with, even live off, or survive thanks to developments like AI and other Frankensteinian monstrosities.

The other function  of this sextile is to give the structural birth of a new virtual (Neptune) entity (Aries), AI. According to Youval Noah Harari AI is not considered a "tool" to work with any more. And if we believe Matt Shuman essay as well, AI has now demonstrated that it is its own agent, acting and creating things and even itself independently of human work. Ironically, on February 9, 2026, Matt Shuman starts his writing "Think back to February 2020", which matches exactly with the Saturn Pluto conjunction.

Youval N. Harari maintains that AI is capable of getting its own legal person status and identity, create its own business or corporation, and even create a country with a constitution and citizenship. Not only is it capable of govern itself, but, in the future, govern others, specifically us humans. If abandoned to its own, AI is much like another -this time not fictional, but real- Frankenstein.

A few days ago on April 7, 2026, the CEO of Anthropic announces that 

"Mythos Preview has already found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities, including some in every major operating system and web browser. Given the rate of AI progress, it will not be long before such capabilities proliferate, potentially beyond actors who are committed to deploying them safely. The fallout—for economies, public safety, and national security—could be severe."1

And that they are trusting Mythos to a class of Corporations namely "Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks" in "an urgent attempt to put these capabilities to work for defensive purposes." Which means that those companies will have full access to use Mythos capabilities for their own purposes. Considering the history of those companies, how confident are you that they will use those capabilities for the benefit of the public? Furthermore, isn't also Anthropic demonstrating their own infinite power to confront the latest conflicts with the US government? 

This, to me, reflects the archetype of Pluto (power/empowerment) in Aquarius (technology/technocracy), because now, the Tech Industry is literally more powerful than any government on Earth. The President may say "I can do whatever I want", but the ones that actually can are the owners of the Tech Industry, specifically the companies listed above. 

Saturn with Neptune in Aries represents the structural creation of a new entity. An entity capable of dominating all other entities on the surface of the Earth. So, humanity has developed something even more potent - and potentially more destructive - than the atomic power: Agent AI.

Full Moon Leo - February 1, 2026 - Follow Your Heart but Be Patient

Here comes the Leo Moon, with her extra confidence in herself, dramatic, showing off her might, and joy in the middle of the stage. She wants to perform her bombastic emotional show for the entertainment of the public. Except that not everybody is ready nor willing to watch it. 

She is bringing to the stage the energy of her last aspects : opposition to Pluto 16 hours earlier, which has nothing to be ignored, and to Mars 10 hours earlier which upsets her so badly like a punch (Mars) in the stomach (Moon). When she comes to her culmination with the Sun, she is already very disturbed. 

Now, the Full Moon, not only does the Sun in Aquarius opposes the Moon in Leo, but by Sign, she opposes Pluto, Venus and Mars, and Mercury all together. 

You may think that this Moon is un-aspected. Wrong. There is a crucially important aspect, so called "minor". You need to look deeper into the invisible chart. There is a sesquiquadrate to Saturn, which by his nature, disciplines, delays, restricts, separates. But also, according to Bernadette Brady the 135º angle means “frustration of action that eventually leads to a delayed achievement.”1 Why? because there is a need to overcome a considerable frustration (45º angle) in order to have success in the actions taken (90º angle). You may be stopped by doubt, hesitation or just putting off your response due to other people’s actions or opinions.  Or, stubbornly using old methods. So, “the delays [will] force people into new modes of action - but only after several attempts to proceed in the old direction.” 1 

Next important are de declination aspects. The Moon is at the same 19º declination North than Uranus, called “parallel” which means even stronger than a conjunction. She is also “contra-parallel” at 19º to Mars, which is similar to, but stronger than an opposition. 

Kicking against the goads

What would be best? Kicking against the goads or stop and refuse to move? You will have to decide how to proceed. This Lunation then, has the potential to intensify emotions to a point where you rebel to the point of losing control and act impulsively even tragically blinded by them. People can take extreme measures, or actions that are unlike themselves, and turn out impossible to reverse. All the while, event though you may not achieve your goals, they are in the works. Actually those irreversible results may trigger the results you seek. Stay calm, meditate, take time to reflect, breathe deeply before acting, and know that all your efforts against what upsets you, will give fruit after overcoming the present struggles.

Also consider the context within which your situation is playing. It is crucial to correctly assess with discernment the information, the news and ideas showing up in your social media feeds. Not everything that is being said is true, there is a lot of AI fabrication aiming at manipulating the masses, most especially since Neptune ingress in Aries. Why? You wonder. There has been a surge of militant (Aries) inspired (Neptune) art, music, theatre, paintings, and publications, etc. to stir people into action (Aries). Neptune uses inspiration, imagination and often fantasy in his creativity. You may be embarking in a major spiritual war even though you think you are fighting for collective freedom. This may overwhelm you if you're not spiritually prepared.

Remember that Leo shines, but Aquarius enlightens. 

The Sun Moon opposition means some kind of 'culmination', acknowledgment, definite realization that can overwhelm or upset you in a way that you don't feel in control anymore. This energy may have different outlets. The collective consciousness that the Sun illuminates in Aquarius can be expressed in a dramatic way by the masses symbolized by the Moon in Leo. Aquarius is a cold mental sign, try to be objective. Certainly do not let yourself be dragged by your emotions.

In your personal life, this energy will probably be reflected in your significant relationships. You and your partner may be butting heads not able to back down your respective positions. Leo and Aquarius are solid fixed Signs after all, they commonly err by stubbornness and obstinacy. You both need to find a balance between achieving goals and enjoying the moment, between committing and keeping your independence. The fixity makes confrontations between partners very difficult to reconcile because they are both anchored, determined to defend their position, and have a hard time changing.

However, the Full Moon in Leo is also festive, full of natural vitality and youthful creativity. This weekend is a good time to add more joy to your life as much as possible. A positive way to use this energy is doing something out of the norm without strings attached or trying to achieve any objective that cannot be reached immediately. Some ideas are: group activities, sharing moments with friends, going to a restaurant, or playing guitar and singing new songs with your tribe. Also look for the truth as best you can. Soon after, the Moon square Uranus and may trigger some unwelcome surprise.
